Core Image is the essential framework for handling image processing tasks in your photo and video apps. In this session, we'll explore new additions to the framework that allow you to achieve great performance in your filter chains and custom CIKernels. We'll also demo a new approach to prototyping in Core Image through the use of an interactive Python environment. Through these techniques you'll discover new ideas for building new creative effects as well as practical approaches to batch processing images for tasks such as image compositing and data boosting for machine learning.
